OK so Matt (red blok army box) and I faced off (Karmans) last time we played he did a good job against the UNA this time I thought I bring a army I'm a bit more familiar with.

We started off by making a pool of At-43 terrain of 12 units each unit having a value of one star* , four low walls *, a container*, two high walls* , and one high wall with two low*. a bunker would be 2 stars **,,we played on the 4x4 desert table with a small amount of scenery we each took turns placing 5 terrain elements* then each placed two nano generators for objectives ( 4 in total) after all that we rolled for sides I won the roll and decided to take the side Matt was standing on just to try everything possible in this format all this only took about 5 to 8 min and was a lot of fun watching how the battlefield unfolded as we took turns placing terrain. we decided that all terrain was destroyable and each objective was worth 3 points and all solders worth 1 and AFV's worth 2. Our goal was to get 20 VPs and look up rules as we go so time wasn't a big deal.

My force was 6 Wendigos,2 K shooters, Med Tech Field hospital w 3 medics , Two Easy Trikes, and Saint Anuman in his Buggy every unit had a officer for a total of 2000 points and 12 LP.

We both had 6 max LP and 7 Authority so going first was all just who got lucky dice rolling at the beginng of every turn...fun

I think... I won first round and let Red Block Go first thinking If he goes first hes got nothing to shoot at. (I'm not that good a Battle reports but I wanted to try cause I so enjoy reading my friends (James D.) reports so hes my inspiration so bear with me as I learn his craft...LOL)

Matt deployed a group of troops and moved into a bunch of palms trees for cover , good move, Med tech unit were first up I love the way these things air drop into the battle very cinematic in the "movie in my head" as I game lol, Two high walls drop on my left flank and the hospital right behind ,right next to another container placed previously during set up ..sweeet.

That was fast so Matt places his next unit another Group of troops, Draco commandos with a sniper, ouch! those guys are deadly with those sniper guns thank god hes only got one! .. nothing to shoot at thats in range so I get to go next. K shooters come onto the board they see a nice spot on top of the field hospital to occupy with a nice view of the table having the med tech unit right under them they feel its safe to jump on the top and beat their chests a little ( again this is my movie) lol I spend some LP and put them on over watch.

Matt's turn this time its the RED blocs hero twins Odin & Manon in Urod this walker is sick with its repair and High Armour this is a issue that makes the K shooters jump to attention and pop their over watch. I rolled 6 dice with re-rolls and hit all then I shoot concentrate fire and re-roll missed damages and hit with 5 maybe 6 shots this one one successful dice roll and that doesn't happen for me often as many of you who game with me know..wow is Karma with me tonight Id better keep my fingers crossed and not get to excited....

Matt returns fire cause it is still his turn he fires a volley at the K shooters some very lucky shots and a monkey goes down but thanks to the med tech unit their healed and put back into action.

Next up is a unit of 2 Easy trikes taking advantage of they 25cm move I move into range with Urod and open up with 8 shoots alot of them hit and jammers damage on a 2+ ..so...Urod takes a few more hits and the mechanics on board cant keep up a few more Blocks are checked off. and at some point the frame was hit but unfortunately Urod is a hero and I cant hi jack it with Anuman spec ability. again reading rules as we play is fun and educational..LOL

Matt places the Dotch Yaga on the table damn thing is so big its tough finding a parking spot!

I place my wendigos and Matt opens up with Dotch but lucky me it drifts toward the shooter enough space to miss and I return fire using the Wendigos concentrate fire ability I manage to take out all but three of the first platoon of troops and thats all they did all game Matt was able to keep these guys pinned the whole game Id stand then up he'd knock them down all you could hear is the squad shooting 'incoming" all thru the battle. (Man the special effects are awesome in this movie!)

The rest is a bit blurry we went back and forth but the final thing that made my day is Saint Anuman hi jacked the Dotch Yaga and I actually got to add the card to my activation and take it for a drive, as well as get 20 VP points for a win! While controlling Dotch I used its mortars to finish of the troops and just ran over who ever was in the way to get the points needed for the win. I was so excited to drive the Dotch I felt like a kid during "take a kid to work day" and my dad was a dumb truck driver .....

Can you believe it G-Dogg took a win OMG even if I lost driving Dotch was the height of the battle for me....... man this game is freaking fun..... cant wait till next week and THANKS Matt for being such a fun opponent

Let the credits roll cant wait for this to come out on DVD!

Sounds like you had a blast. Great report.

I am giving the Cogs the first go tomorrow night in our group. I am looking forward to it.

Hello Saint

Yeap i hate those grease monkeys stealing AFV's butseems like a great fun

I bet next time he'll fire everything he have on St.Anuman till he dies , out of spite from the car jacking ^^;

Nova Jammer is not unfair.

You get one vehicle at a time, with one point of frame plus whatever damamge is done to other systems.

Its a tad harder for Red Blok because the Dotch Yaga is so well protected, but Red Blok anti vehicle firepower sucks. But you only need to do one point of frame damage so the few decent strength guns the AT Cannon and AT Gauss can be used against it.

If Anuman is on the board it pays to consider what resopurces you have to deal with your own *** vehicles when they are taken over.

If an opponent has a habit of taking Anuman then take Fortuna as heroic pilot AFV's are immune to Nova Jammer.

Don't worry about Nova Jammer, it does mean that you lose one units shooting dealing with the problem caused, but you should hold back at least one firepower unit late in the turn anyway in case of suprise moves.

If the monkeys has /2 damage weapons this ability would have been a whole lot nastier.

Thanks everyone for your replys , this was a very fun game and close... my buddy Matt was at 15 VP when I closed the gap on the points, it was a very close game with template weapons on both sides its was crazy fun!

My Dotch Yaga is a dud..... No range ability at all. I already have inaquerate units up to my eyeballs.

But Joyriding one over an infantry sqaud is kinda fun.....

Is there actually a way to beat the tobacco wacky monkeys..... especially with the Blok? I always seem to get the raw end of the peel.

Personally i use A LOT snipers and Sierps, the rest is dependant on the mission, I favor Genecol with duplicate Urods, if not ARC is good for ME, as Ilike to run 4+ kollossi units (more than for if Dragomira can fit)

I like the yaga, Iusually keep him with a min unit of krasny with mechs or 1 urod to his side for reparations or against heavy missile/jammer list i use both or more
